Home Forums Hunting & Shooting Hunting Optics Athlon Helos BTR GEN2 2-12x42 AHMR2 FFP IR MIL #214105 is In Stock

anyone used this scope on something with a bit more recoil? Really interested in Big Sticks thoughts on how this would live on a 6.5lb 7wsm. Im guessing it will be fine from Sticks' tests and glowing report, one things for sure, he doesnt have time for [bleep] optics.

Support more Chyna made optics LOL

im just wondering who sock puppet this is.

Steelhead

I've got one on my 8 twist Tikka 22-250. Fast twist not so lightweight but I think it will be a shooter.

Prolly looks a lot like this then

Fair chance

Spent a fair bit of time behind it over the last couple of days and I am really impressed, tracks like it is on rails and ticks all the boxes

Anyone try the 1-4.5x?

I'm trying one out at the moment on a Sig Cross. It does seem like a well-designed scope for its intended uses. Looks clear, solidly built, and easy to get behind. I'll need to get some additional time in before I can say with certainty if it's a good dual-use scope for the range and for hunting. Pretty much got it zeroed at 200 and went hunting. Got this guy the other evening and I did find that the lower two illumination settings are about right for shots at dusk. Too much brightness, coupled with the circle around the dot, can obscure too much target for proper definition of the animal and the dot when at medium-power. Less illumination and a bit more magnification was dandy for this shot at 150yds or so. I hope to spend more time with the scope in the woods and on the range this fall.

Thanks to BigStick’s pictures and experience with this scope I figured I’ll give it a try..👍

Cameraland, as usual, always gets the nod.

I realized that the MOA version and the Mil version list the same reticle but they appear different. It look like the MOA is more of a crosshair white the Mil version is a dot. In all my research and obsessing I didn’t notice that until after I made the purchase and I don’t want the crosshair, I prefer the dot for this application. I called Cameraland this morning and with little effort they swapped me out for the Mil reticle. Just wanted to give Cameraland another shout-out for great service! 👍

Big Stick, looking pretty sharp my friend. Wishing you all the best.

Take care.

Yeah, that was a big help.

Personally I don't care if it's made in China or Pluto. I bought it and it works great it's got two antelope under its belt so far.

I've been happy with mine and just ordered another one from Cameraland...
